    Abstract: An apparatus and method for separating, harvesting and primary dewatering microalgae biomass from a microalgae solution by destabilization thereof with addition of kinetic energy thereto is disclosed. The method to overcome the energetic barrier preventing a fluid-solid separation comprises injecting the microalgae solution in an electrolytic system comprising an electrocoagulation reactor generally comprising an anode module and a cathode module, the anodes and the cathode(s) being adapted to be electrically connected to perform electrolysis, thus separating, harvesting and primary dewatering microalgae biomass. Such process is generally achieved by providing a DC electric current, between the anodes and the cathode(s), to perform the separation of the biomass in the solution, in preparation the following process steps of for liquid/solid separation and primary dewatering.

    Abstract: Provided are media cartridges that have adjustable bypasses using linear movement, and systems and methods that use them. Aspects include an adjustable bypass filter cartridge where a treated stream and an adjusted non-treated stream combine prior to post-filtration and the percentage or ratio of treated the and the non-treated water is adjustable at the time of installation from the outside of the filter cartridge with a known or predictable level of bypass. Media cartridges comprise: an inlet in fluid communication with a feed chamber and an outlet in fluid communication with a mixing compartment; a media compartment containing a media; a bypass port in fluid communication with the feed chamber and the mixing compartment; and a bypass regulator that is adjustable by linear movement. Such cartridges maybe adjusted to meet the needs of a wide variety of end uses.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a “warning device dedicated for replacing aged-filter in a handheld showerhead”, which comprises a showerhead stem, an impeller mount, an impeller, a signal circuit device and a transparent lid. The showerhead stem includes an upper adapting section, a lower adapting section, and a mounting cavity for containing parts of impeller and signal circuit device. With upper adapting section and lower adapting section, the warning device can be easily sandwiched between showerhead and filter cylinder of conventional “handheld showerhead with built-in filter”. Other than inherent measuring display for quantity of shower water and alerting function for timely replacing filter cartridge, the warning device also solves all issues of “top-heavy awkwardness”, “quickened aging fatigue” and “redundant purchase waste”, which happened in the prior arts of “handheld showerhead with filter replacing pre-alarm device” or “handheld showerhead with filter replacing pre-display device” and conventional “handheld showerhead with built-in filter”.
